Privacy Policy
Introduction
suttoread ("the App") reads printed rosters and lists with the camera. Because a roster holds other people's names, the App is built so that what it reads never leaves your device. This policy explains what information the App handles and how.
1. Information Processed Only on Your Device
The camera image, the text read (names and list entries), and the row images shown on the review screen are processed only on your device. They are never sent anywhere, including to the developer.
Results and row images are kept in memory only, and are deleted when you quit the App or leave the review screen. Nothing is saved to your photo library.
2. Information Stored on Your Device
The App stores only the following on your device. None of it is sent anywhere.
- Settings: the app language, the script and languages read, the kind of list, the writing direction, the export format (BOM, line endings, header row), and whether you have seen the guide and the start buttons
- Characters you corrected by hand on the review screen, as single-character pairs (such as 漂 → 凛), offered as choices in later scans. No names or rows are stored. You can erase them at any time in Settings
- The number of free exports used (in the Keychain). It may remain after the App is deleted, and is not synced to iCloud
Your choice of app icon and your purchase of Pro are kept by iOS and the App Store.
3. Network Communication
The App communicates only with the App Store, through iOS, when you buy or restore Pro. This communication contains no rosters or images. Reading works without a network connection.
4. Exporting and Sharing
CSV sharing and tab-separated copying happen only when you choose them on the export screen. Once data is passed to another app or the clipboard, it is handled by that app, and the App can no longer manage or delete it. Please handle it according to your organization's rules.
5. Camera
The App uses the camera only to read printed rosters and lists. You can turn off camera access at any time in iOS Settings.
6. Advertising, Analytics, and Tracking
The App does not use advertising, usage analytics, or tracking. It contains no SDKs that send information to outside services.
7. Third-Party Disclosure
The App does not collect user information, so there is none to provide to third parties. Purchases on the App Store are subject to Apple's privacy policy.
8. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated as the App changes.
